Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Thankful for the reviews I read, prior to purchasing this dress. As many different folks mentioned in their reviews, the neckline was very high... and not at all like in the picture, but then again, everyone's body shape is different, and some have broader shoulders, or narrower shoulders, so I suppose it's bound to fall at least slightly differently on everyone. I typically wear a size 2x-ish (depending on cut and fabric)... so around 20/22 on top, sometimes smaller on top as well... I have a larger frame, and for many reasons I don't like a clingy dress, so I read very carefully before purchasing. Some people said that the dress fit a 3x more like a 2 x, and I would have to say that is very accurate in my case... at least with the burgundy dress. I loved the pockets, but since it is a thin material, I probably wouldn't put more than a piece of paper, or my phone in there for a quick walk through the office (not for any extended period of time). I received a ton of compliments on the color, the fact that it had pockets, and it is pretty cute! I do, at my size, have some lumps and bumps I like to smooth out, so I just got a cheap 2 dollar cami from W-mart, and wore that underneath, worked like a charm to smooth things out, and make the dress cling less. I don't have a large chest, rather on the smaller side, so I made sure to wear a bigger necklace, that took up some space if that makes sense, so it wasn't just a umm.... large blank space :-) ... Anyway, all-in-all, I would recommend it, but with those tips... if you're a little lumpy/bumpy, maybe order 1 size up, and grab a cami for underneath... get a big, pretty necklace that matches, and if you have a long-torso like me, maybe wear a pair of capri leggings? That's what I did, and will likely continue to do. Also, it definitely shows your arms... so be comfortable with how your arms are, and say heck with what people think, or get a little shrug/summer sweater to wear over-top. For me, I am just saying heck with it! I have spent too much time caring what people think, and it's summer, and I want to wear cute dresses and be cool and comfortable. I like it, and I think I'll probably purchase more dresses, in other colors! :-) **Added: The material of the dress seems to be decent quality, similar to that of ON swing dresses. I have already washed once, and hung up to dry (to avoid pilling)...
